Instructions
Chicken marinade
- Halve the two chicken breast pieces and pound each piece until it's about 1 cm thick.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of each piece.
Hot and Spicy Fried Chicken
- Mix the ingredients for the egg mix (for dredging). Set aside.
- Mix the ingredients for the flour mix. Set aside.
- Take a piece of chicken and coat it with the flour mix. Then dip it in the egg mix to coat and once more in the flour mix to coat.
- Set it on a wire rack (or on a plate that's sprinkled with flour).
- Heat the oil to about 380°F in a deep, heavy bottomed saucepan.
- Fry the chicken pieces (I only fry 2 pieces at a time to prevent overcrowding) for about 6 minutes, until the chicken turns golden brown and the internal temperature is at about 165°F.
- Place the chicken on a wire rack (the chicken can also be kept in a warm oven to keep it warm).
- While the chicken is frying, place all the ingredients for the hot sauce in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat to melt the butter and mix all the ingredients to form a paste.
- Once all ingredients are mixed, keep it warm until the chicken is fried.
- Brush the hot sauce generously over the fried chicken.
Sour Cream Ranch
- Place all the ingredients in a small food processor and pulse to mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste (add more lemon juice if needed too).
- Optional - mix some of the dressing with shredded cabbage and carrots to make a coleslaw.
Hot and Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwiches
- Place one piece of spicy fried chicken on a burger bun. Top with dill pickles and sour cream ranch dressing and serve with coleslaw.
